Description
A bridge is a dental restoration technique used for replacing one or more missing/broken teeth by placing an artificial tooth on the dental implants or the adjacent teeth. A bridge will cover the whole of the missing teeth. They are attached to the implants or the natural teeth that surround this space. These artificial or false teeth (pontics) can be made from alloys, gold, porcelain or combination of other elements. Dental Bridges can help in restoring the smile, maintaining the shape of the patient’s face or prevent their teeth from drifting apart or not functioning properly. This makes it a significant procedure, which being a part of the aesthetic procedure is relatively expensive in cost. This encourages patients to seek treatment from Dental Bridge Hospitals in India because of the availability of advanced technologies, best dentists, and low cost of treatment in the country.
FAQ
1. How do I know which is the right hospital for me? How do I review/assess a hospital?

• Is the hospital accredited by a government-approved medical quality council (NABH or JCI)? JCI (Joint Commission International) is an international and NABH (National Accreditation Board for Hospitals & Healthcare) is an Indian quality council board designed to help patients determine the quality of treatment delivered at different hospitals.
• Is the dental bridge hospital infrastructurally advanced? Is it equipped with the technology required for the treatment? Dental bridges are placed in the patient’s mouths using different technologies depending on the position of the infected teeth, which might require use of specific machines or equipment. Patients should verify these specifications with their doctor before selecting a hospital.

2. What are the different types of dental bridges used in India?
Dental bridge hospitals in India, use the following techniques for bridging the gap between teeth:
Traditional Bridges – involve the creation of a crown for the teeth or the implant on either or both sides of the missing tooth, by placing a pontic in between. Traditional bridges are one of the most common type of bridges used till date, that are usually made from porcelain fused metal or ceramics.
Cantilever bridges – are typically used in cases when there are teeth present only on one side of the tooth or teeth which are missing. This procedure is not used very often nowadays and is also not recommended for bridging teeth present in the back of the mouth, as they require more force which can damage other teeth.
Maryland bonded bridges (aka resin-bonded bridge/Maryland bridge) – are created from porcelain, which is fused into metal, or plastic teeth and the gums are supported by porcelain or a metal framework. Metal or porcelain wings are adjusted on only one side of the bridge and are directly bonded to the patient’s existing teeth.
Implant-supported bridges – are another option used for restoring missing teeth. It is used when the patient is missing more than one tooth. In this technique, the bridges are supported by dental implants instead of crowns or frameworks. Usually, one implant is used for every missing tooth, and these implants hold the bridges in place.

The variation in the cost of dental bridge treatment can cause because of the following factors:
